Application lcrl December 22, 1904. Serial Nn, 237.952.

l'e it known that l, @nannies W. ltmeiafn, a citizen ol3 the United States, resit'ling at Florence, in the county ot Lainlerdale and rltateol1 lltlabainzu have invented certain new and uselul Improvements in rled lhfaees; and l do declare the following to be ay 'lnll, clear, and exact description ol" the invent-ion, such as will enable others skilled Vin the art to which it appertains to make and use the saine.

lthis invention relates to iniprovenients in bed-braces.

Yllhe object ot the invention is to provide a bed-brace which may be adjusted to brace all parts o't the bed and tighten the saine in all directions at the saine tilne.

,It Further object is to provide an improved construction oit tan'nbuclile to be used in con nection with the brace whereby a greatly-increased adjustment is provided over the torlns oll adjusting devices now in use.

VWith these and other objects in View the invention consists ol certain novel lxatures ot constrllotion7 confibimition, and arrangelnent ot parts, as will be hereinafter described and cla il'ned.

ltn the aecoinpanying drawings7 l `igure l, is a plan view ot a, tiert-traina showing the application ot the brace. Fig. 2 is an enlarged bottoni plan view ot the adjusting lneehanisln; and Fig. il is a, lnn'izontal see.- tional view o'll the saine, showing the pulleybloelis turned at right angles to the position shown in Fig. 2.

lteitrring more lmrticularly to the drawings, 1 denotes the bedstead or 'trame to which nly iniproved brace, is attached. To the corner-posts at one end oit said bedstead is secured the ends olE a wire or other Yflexible eonneetion 2, which passes through eyes 3, secured to the side rails o'll the bed-'trame adjacent to said corner-posts. 'lrhe wire when thus connected terms a .loop which is slidably engaged with a pulley ft, iournaled in ar pulley-bloelr 5, which is arranged on the end o'lrl one oli the. threaded adjustiiig bolts or rods ol,i a tnrnbuolile 7, which is arranged in the center oli the lnalstran'ie. (ln

the opposite end et the tnrnlnlcldc is arranged a threaded bolt or rod H, to the outer end ot which is secured a pnlle \'blocl\ t), on which is journaled a pulley lt). 'lo the corner-postsn at the opposite ends ot the be,d traine, are secured wires or other tlexible connections l2, which pass through eyes l?) and tron] thence extend in opposite directions aronnd the pulley lt), the opposite ends ol the wires being .secured tothe side rails ot the traine at a point approximately n'iid- 'ay between the ends ot the saine. The turnblurkle 7 consists ot? a yoke or Atranie 1t, in the opposite ends o'l which are Alorlned pairs o'l longitudinally-disposed alined aper tures l5 and V1(7. ()ne o'lE the aliiertures l5 in each end ol said volte or 'l'ran'le is provided with screw-tln'e:uls, said threaded apertures l5 in eat-ih end o't the 'tralne being opposite or in alinenient with the sinooth-bortul aperture lt' in the opposite end oll the traine. lWith said threaded apertures are adapted to be engaged the threaded bolts or rods t and t ot the turnlmoklej the endso't said threaded rods passing through the snnmth-lmred apertures in the opposite end o'l the traine and having a loose engagement with said apertures.

ly constructing the turnbuclcle as herein shown and described the adjusting rods or bolts o'l" the, saule are out ot avlinenient with each otherr` and thus lnay be itorined ot considerably greater length, thereby providing a greatlyincreased adjustment torsaid turnbuclcle, which will enable the parts to which the saine is attuu-,hed to be taken up or let out to a inueh greater extent than siinilar devices now in use.

ltroin the 'foregoing description` taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and operatirin ot the invention will be readily nnderstoml without requiring a, more extended explanation.

Various changes in the torni, lnoportion, and the. minor details o'll construction may be resorted to withtnit departing troni the i'ninciple or sacrificing any ot the advan tages ot this invention.
